Babbling

[thedarkwolf]

Camera fades up from black to reveal a sun raise over a mountain, the dark reds and claiming blue paint the sky and black out the various trees. As the camera backs out it finds the silhouette of a man sitting on a stump watching a new day come into being. Through the audio feed comes a voice of The Dark Wolf. His hair is pulled back so that all of his scars on his face are seen, his brown eyes carry focus but there seems to be weight there. Instead of a shirt bearing a message it is dark blue and empty. As he speaks he never looks into the camera but rather forward to something else. Focused and deliberate his words are those of a man head towards a great task.

Wolf: In the story of the nameless hero he has gone to the emperor’s throne to kill the person that he believed to be tyrant. He concived a great story and planned out the delivery of three powerful foes of the Emperor. By the time he finished the story he would be close enough to destory the evil.  Through his time there he discovered that for the good of “Our Land” this man should be emperor for only he had the power to end the wars that plagued the era and lead the people to a better era. When he was killed by the royal guard he met his end knowing that what he did he did for good of all.

 It has never been my call to be a King. I do walk the King’s Road but that is something which I cannot win. When it comes right down to it I am a warrior, a guardian, an Ace but not a King. To my fans I am a hero and they have called me a King. To be called a King is one thing to take the crown when you do not deserve it is another. At the last tournament I was defeated by the man that became King. I was sure of this fact in defeat and was happy to see my hope become reality. I take to this battle as one of the people and make sure that the next King will lead us to a better time.  Should it be that I am the one I am unsure of what I will do.  Still I know I will do what is best for “Our Land.”

[cletus1901]

I was so disappointed with that movie.  Not your promo, I liked that, but the movie.  Just saying. 

[Heinekenrana]

((IC: In the editing studio for the ASWF DVDs, the latest release looks to be... just about complete. but there's one last segment that has to be edited in...

*Harsh Audio Beep*

Academy Of Adventure: The ASWF Goes Back To Class. Sorta...

Random Interviewer: So you're familiar with Battle Royale, yes?

MTN (On the couch in the back interview area): What? Oh, that.

Dae and Leon (in the Stronghold, simulataneously): ... really.

Randy Collins (in a coffeehouse of some sort, drinking steaming green tea): Of course.

Cheech and Cletus (In Nikuyoku, probably already drunk, two strippers per lap): Duh.

Vin (in a garage - his?): Yep.

Shane Adames (ALSO in Nikuyoku, in the middle of getting yelled at, since the interviewer interrupted him asking a stripper for something that's... probably pretty bad): Yeah, sure.

Rapmaster (hitting the heavy bag in the Arena gym): Own the book, not so keen on the manga. 's stupid.

Wolf (playing Go with Damien): Certainly.

Monroe and Syn (Monroe's throttling Syn. God knows why): Yeah. *actually, Syn's is more of a choked answer in the affirmative. WHO CARES, IT'S SYN.*

Murphy (watching Monroe choke the hell out of Syn): Oh hell yes.

 Interviewer: So you have to survive the island, by any means necessary, and there's only going to be one of you left. What do you possibly bring into a situation like that?

Cletus: .... Wait what. I have to pick something to kill every single one of the rest of the fed off?

Cheech: Oh, no contest, 222.

Leon: We can't use people, right?

 Interviewer: Never said that, did I?

Cletus: Screw you guys, I'm taking a baseball bat. You're all invited to dinner at Capone's, morons.

Cheech: 222.

Interviewer: You said that.

Cheech: I am merely resigning my position on the matter.

Cletus: Re-stating.

Cheech: I SAID 222. J-SUS.

Interviewer: Moving along...

Cletus: Now we're not good enough for you?!

Leon: Shock stick.

Dae (dryly): How electrifying.

Leon: Shut up. I can pick what I want.

Randy Collins: Jutte.

Interviewer: Isn't that -

Randy Collins: Not jute, you peon.

Adames: .45 Mateba Autorevolver. Wait, did Dae pick a gun? She did, didn't she, that b-tch?

Interviewer: ... nothing says more than one of you can't have guns, Shane.

Adames: I don't want whatever gun she picked. What was it?

Dae: Did that jackass Shane pick a gun? What was it?

Murphy: Shaolin Spade. It's gonna make it way easier if I pretend you're all zombies.

Monroe: Dude.

Murphy: I'll still love you. Total bromance, dude. But you're gonna die.

Monroe: Kanabo.

Murphy: What the hell, why a caribou?

Monroe: ...

Syn: Hwoooooork.

Vin: .50 Magnum. No, I am not ripping off Barry Burton. Or Dae. Or anyone else. Go away.

Wolf: A utility belt.

Leon: I BET WOLF CHOSE A BATARANG.

Wolf: There won't be a Batarang in it. It's going to be modified. So no one can complain later.

Rapmaster: Bat.

 Interviewer: An actual bat? Is it rabid?

Rapmaster: Goddammit, fine, a chair. Why is there always ONE smartass working for this fed?

MTN: 24 inch black nightsticks, carved from hickory, of course.

Interviewer: You've... thought... about the color... and the length?

MTN (derisively): Haven't you?

Syn (rubbing his throat, finally not anywhere near Monroe or Murphy): I... uh... I want to choose...

Dae: Not a gun.

Syn: I think maybe some fire?

Interviewer: Fire? Like - what? A flamethrower?

Syn: I really have to kill EVERYONE?

Interviewer: ... yeah?

Syn: Alright fine then, I choose Dae.

(He runs off screaming for some unknown reason.)

Interviewer: ...

Dae: No guns. I won't do that.

Leon: Swords?

Dae: F-CK YOU. Fine, I'm taking Cletus.

Leon: ...

Interviewer: I am never going anywhere near an island with anyone I just talked to.

[The-Johnny-Casanova]

*Cassanova is back stage with Miss Heather. He looks into the camera and begins to speaks.*

Cassanova: Alex, you've been quite lately. What's a matter, cat got your tounge? It's hard to swallow the truth isn't it. That's ok you would come up with something witty, but you didn't. So what does that mean? I'll tell you what it means: It means that I made a mistake. You shouldn't have been the leader of the Union. I should have let the Union die. So at Judgement I'm making my own challenge to you. You beat me for my title and I will admit that you have become the true leader of the Union. But if you lose, you lose control of the Union and it comes back to me and I let it die and we move on for good.  The true leader of the Union would not be afraid to accept this challenge.  I hope you do the right thing.

*Camera fades*

[The_Lethal_Injection]

*String walks back to his locker room, and there's a note there, obviously left by one of Alex's co-horts.*

"In Mexico, training under the tutilage of Ultimo Dragon. Be back on Friday with some final words. Also, fuuuuuudge you, you can have The Union. The Nu-Union lives on, so you can go fuuuuuudge yourself.

-Alex

P.S. It's Justice, not Judgment, dumbass."

*Midnight Carnival*

*IC*

Firestarter: Ah its nice to be in such a lovely place and to be champion to top it off! Yeah I took a recent loss but I didn't lose the title so fu** it! I would like to thank a certain person on the championship comittee for that. A copy of Blaze Blue, with all the voice actors autographs will be coming soon *smiles at the camera as the fans start to boo*

FS: Stop hating you know you would abuse power to get what you want so *points to the ASWFTron and Riley Freeman says "Whatevah n****uh"* So I got the Sugarman and the rest of his Sugarholics to deal with now *busts out laughing*. James your a very good-great wrestler and I respect you...but bruh you've been in the ASWF how many years and still haven't grabbed the brass ring? When are you just gonna accept that its not just gonna happen for you & be at piece being Mr.Midcard?

FS: Its not that bad being a multi-time tag champion. You can still get in the ASWF Hall of Fame! Just be comfortable with being the midcard ace. Because going against me in a title match is not *makes a disapproving face* a wise move. If you continue along this path and seek this match. Shattered Dreams will be the name of the film based off your career. Because in a couple weeks your name will be ju-st a mem-ory. *Smile turns into a frown as the show goes to break*

*OC*

[Heinekenrana]

((IC: Midnight Carnival has just gone on-air, live from Baltimore, MD, and the crowd is in fine form as the show opens to reveal... an empty ring. It's apparently not going to stay empty for long, however, as the sounds of Rammstein's "Haifisch" begin to boom over the speakers, and one Dae Veritas makes her way down the ramp, dressed as none other than Sir Integra Wingates Hellsing. She has a mic in hand, and looks neither left nor right, garnering more boos than cheers, but whatever. It's a business night.

Climbing through the ropes, Dae finally spares a glance or two for the crowd, taking them all in impassively, not a muscle twitching on her face. She's definitely not here to play second fiddle to her preening jackass of a husband, that's for certain.

As the music dies down, Dae lifts the microphone to her mouth and addresses not the crowd - but stares up the ramp, as if discussing matters with the entire locker room.))

Dae: Words, eventually, mean nothing.

Certainly they are a prelude to action. When said loudly enough, they may inspire fear in the hearts of lesser folk; when uttered prettily, they may fool the ear, and thus the heart, of weaker individuals. But in the end, once the voices fall silent and the listeners have become watchers, it is not so much the words, the volume, or the fire - no, gentlemen, it is the actions that remain forever.

I could ramble for hours on my impact in this federation. I could remind you all, once more, that I have held every title of every importance, and most of those for longer than most of you. I could trot out the injuries I've caused, the sleepless nights of worry inspired by the mere sight of my name penciled in the "Opponents" bracket of match listings, the names of those I have crushed, broken, dominated and destroyed to make sure this business remembers who I am; but why bore you? If you've ever faced me in this ring, friend or foe, you won't ever forget who I am. I'm willing to stake my life on that.

What I choose to do, instead, is this: I choose to remind you all, in my rise up the ladder of the King of the Ring standings, that as a ruler I am less Queen Elizabeth and more Elizabeth Bathory. I am ruthless, unjust, merciless and cruel, I am coming for each and every one of you unlucky enough to face me, and when it is all over and I have taken the crown, you WILL remember nothing if not this: I was, and am, as good as my word.

Best of luck, gentlemen. You're certainly going to need it.

((With that grim pronouncement lingering in the arena like a strike of lightning, Dae drops the mic to the mat and exits the ring as efficiently as she entered it, "Haifisch" playing over her exit.))

[I_am_Jacks_STD]

(Jack Murphy appears backstage at Midnight Carnival.)

Josh Matthews: Excuse me, Mr. Murphy, I was wondering if I could have a few words with you.

Murphy: Yeah, kid, whatever.

Josh: We've had a busy week in the ASWF with everyone sharing their thoughts on the upcoming King of the Ring tournament, but you couldn't be found.

Murphy: Oh yeah.  I took a vacation.  Borrowed the boat and went sailing.  It was pretty great.

Josh: ...so you vacationed with the biggest tournament in ASWF history coming up.

Murphy: Yep.

Josh: Also your tag team challenge against Millenion.

Murphy: Where you goin' with this, chumpy g?

Josh: ...aren't you the least bit concerned about these events?

Murphy: Concerned?  I'm freakin the hell right out, man!  I mean, King of the Ring, my first round match is against the Hardcore Disciple himself.  And if you've noticed, I haven't been fairing well against the Legends this fed has.  Four straight losses.  Patch, Fire, Wolf, and now the freaking returning former chairman and hardcore disciple Derek Silver.  This scares the crap out of me.  Millenion, well, I've beat 'em both before, and they've both beat me before, and Alina's involved and has both a win and loss over Dae, so this'll be a challenge.  I mean hell, Joshy, I'm here at the bottom of a mountain of **werd** and I've got to come out on top and squeaky-**werd**-clean.  I was taking a vacation before I had a nervous breakdown to get into the right frame of mind to train.

Josh: Wow, really?  That's... that's a lot more information than I was expecting.

Murphy: Yeah, it's probably the 6 shots of tequila I drank before coming in tonight.

Josh: So you're drunk, too?

Murphy: Not drunk enough.  But here's the deal: MTN - you're a legend.  You're a star.  But you're in my way.  Alex Monroe is the best King of the Ring the ASWF has seen, and I will work my way to the top of the heap to make sure he stays there.  If not, then I'll take the crown in memoriam.  I will not let you serve as a speed bump.  Now Dae, Leon, you two know as well as I do that on your best nights I've been able to beat you.  So I'm gonna let you know right now that I'm going to pull out all the stops.  I will hold nothing back.  I want your gold, and Frost and I will have it.  Now if you'll excuse me, Joshy, I'm going to go kill that bottle of Jose in my locker room then puke all over the place.

(Murphy leaves.)

[L-Train]

I actually had to think about who you meant when you said Patch.

[I_am_Jacks_STD]

Yeah, I just like using that nickname for Cletus.

That's the next move, eyes wide and a renewed fire he's come to face the ASWF's best

[RapMasterD2004]

From High Voltage.

IC:

Rap is sitting in his locker room playing Patapon on his PSP as Todd Grisham comes in.

Grisham:  Excuse me, Rap.  Can I please speak to you for a moment?

Rap:  (sighing heavily)  First time in months I've kicked this game back up, Todd, and this really isn't a game you're meant to pause until you've beaten a level.  (puts the PSP in sleep mode)  What is it?

Grisham:  Well, we are just over a week away from Justice and the King of the Ring tournament, and we've heard from quite a few of the participants that are competing -

Rap:  So you wanted to pick my brain, so to speak, and find out what I'm thinking.

Grisham:  Well, everyone saw what looked like a, sort of psych-up freestyle session with you last week.

Rap:  (smirking and slightly chuckling)  Ah, yes.  Well, I wasn't quite sure what everyone was taking away from some of the more well known KOTR competitors.  After all, this is my first time ever fighting in it.   And, to be frank, I can't exactly say I came off looing my best after Title Wave.   I didn't lose against Trigun Cheech, but I didn't win, either.   Before that match, Cheech said that win or lose, it would be memorable because, win or lose, I would get hurt.

Rap sighs.

Well, I'd say it was certainly a memorable match, and I think everyone would be unanimous in saying I got hurt pretty bad in that match.   Believe it or not, Todd, getting dropped on your head.......it hurts.  (Rap widens his eyes)  I know!  I was shocked, too!  But one thing Cheech was wrong about, was oddly enough, the thing he had 2 choices in:  Neither man won, and neither man lost.    We both competed until we could not stand.    I do not plan to let that happen while I'm in this tournament.

Which brings me to Mr. Stunner Inc. himself, Vin Tybul.  I do vaguely remember Vin.  I know we were both in ASWF while I was here years ago.  Grizzled vet, wants to get his second crack at making an impact here.  I can understand that.   Vin, I have no issue with your desire to return to ASWF.   Hell, I'm proud to see all these faces returning at this juncture and I'm glad you and me finally get to go one-on-one.   But, Vin.....I don't plan on letting anyone beat me in this tournament.  I will face challenge after challenge as this tournament goes on, and I will become the new King of the Ring.

Rap:  Now, Todd, if you'll excuse me, the Patapons are in Fever mode, and I got a tribal fight to win.

Rap nods his head to the door, motioning Grisham to exit as the camera follows.

[Heinekenrana]

[Mr_Thursday_Night]

*Today, Shane Adames is found warming up outside the gym.  He bounces around outside the door, waiting for...something, someone to arrive.  Maybe he's just waiting, who knows.  Whatever the situation is, he's interrupted by a familiar face coming out of the weight room, fresh from his cool-down rounds.*

MTN: Getting ready for your marathon night next week, Shane?

Adames: Yeah--how'd you hear about that?

MTN: Card's posted.  It was pretty common knowledge before then, but that's the proof.

Adames: So what?  What's it to you?

MTN: I know it's not my place to say, but three matches in one night is a pretty bad idea.  I know a lot of people will be pulling double duty because of this big tournament, but three matches in one night around here is pretty much suicide.

Adames: We'll see about that.  I know I can take it.

MTN: Here's a free history lesson, Shane--I thought that, too, when I was at a point in my career where I took three matches in the same night.  I lost all three, along with my Intercontinental Championship.  It took a long time for my career and my confidence to recover. Nobody's ready for that.

Adames: Look, if you're trying to forefit your match, that's okay by me, but don't give me all this claptrap about how badly I'm going to do.  I KNOW I'm going to sweep the table on Sunday.

MTN: I'm backing out of nothing.  Take this as a cautionary tale--nobody in the industry can successfully prepare for three matches in one night.  It's just not done,especially.  I just hope for your sake it's not me that you sleep on. *thumbing to himself* Because if you do...I guarantee you'll suffer at least one loss on Sunday.

Adames: ...is that a threat, Preacher?

MTN: Nonono, it's a promise, and that's the Gospel truth.  The Hardcore title and progressing in the tournament are big deals, sure, but don't you DARE forget about me.  If you do...you'll pay for it, believe me.

Adames: Are you about done?

MTN: Yeah, that's all I've got for you.  Just remember what I said.

*With that, Derek exits the scene, with Shane looking after him, a somewhat disgusted look on his face.*

[TrigunCheech]

Just got caught up. Nice promoing everyone.

[Duo-Yuy]

IC: Its Tuesday morning. Randy is enters the final phase of his workout.

Randy: Before we get started. I want to say this beating isn’t personal.

Yuri: Spare me! You haven’t won in months much or worked for that matter.
So, forgive me for not quaking with fear.

Randy: You  done?

* They take their respective stances*

Yuri:ichini tsuite!

*Yuri lands a kick to the body then goes for an axe kick. Randy counters with a sliding foot sweep.*

Randy: Your slipping.

*Yuri does a springing up kick. Then fallows up with a backfist*

Yuri: You were saying?

*Yuri does another backfist. Randy blocks and trips her into open guard then quickly transitions to north south position.*

Randy: your f**ked you know that right.

*Yuri swings her hip upward forcing a change to side mount. Then lands strikes from underneath*

Yuri: don’t start that victory lap just yet.

*Yuri rolls trying to escape side mount. Randy counters with knees to the body.*|

Randy: Not happening not today.

*Yuri feverishly tries to escape to no avail Randy locks on an Armbar. Yuri attempts one last escape before tapping.*

Yuri: That’s the first submission you scored on me in a while.

Randy: Yeah, quite the taskmistress you’ve been. During this camp.

Yuri: Are you ready for Justice? If so then I did my job.

Randy: Oh, I’m more then ready. Which is great for me.

Yuri: And tragic news for everyone else

OOC:

[COOLRUNNER87]

IC: As the show comes back from break, Fire is still in the ring awaiting his opponent for the night. What he didn't expect was to hear "Speedy Speed Boy" by Marko Polo as James Sarven comes out visibly angry at the words that Fire just said.

James: Fire, what you just said hit home for me.

Fire: Of course it did! As I said before, you're nothing but a midcard ace and you're never going to win the world title.

James: *infuriated* I've had enough of people saying you can't be this or you can't do that... especially from people like you. Just because you are a legend here doesn't mean you can dictate your will to anyone, especially to those that haven't been there yet. Sure, I may not be there yet, but at Justice, not only will I take Cheech to his limits, but I will take the brass ring from you and become the Pure Style Champion! After that... Cletus, I'm coming to take my dignity back after you stole it from me at Title Wave. Not only did you take my title, but you took my pride from me. I will exact my revenge. Fire, Cletus, There's nothing you or anyone else can do about it... it's destiny. See you at Justice.

James drops the mic and walks away, leaving Fire a bit angrier than he was previously, still awaiting his opponent for the night.

[thefirestarter]

*IC*

Firestarter: *Leaves the ring angry as hell.* I refuse to be that Sugar Freaks! Stepping stone towards greatness *kicks chair this is sparta! style down the hall*. He's not leveling up on me. Plus I owe that Loose Cannon some pay back as well! And intend on making him pay what he owes with a crimson mask preferebly *Smiles evily and pulls out the Black Berry and dials up the man made of win.*

Mr.Win: What it is it that I can do for you? 

FS: I want to train and pick up some things from you.

Mr.Win: Heh why should I help you?

FS: I'll make it worth your while. I have a fly that needs swatting! And I believe what you can teach me will be the Tipping Scale in my favor.

Mr.Win: HAHAHAHA! I will train you but you will owe me for this.

*The next day*

Dojo Student: He's in the back waiting for you.

FS: Hello Heihachi Senpai.

*OC*

[The_Loose_Cannon]

..... Nope. Not gonna say a **NaClO** thing. It's not my place to judge.

Anyhoo, a promo.

IC: (Fade in. All we see is a dark-lit room, and what we can make out to be a simple table, around which is pitch black. Suddenly, a clicking sound of a lamp turning on is heard, and the light reveals none other than the Loose Cannon, Shane Adames, an open bottle of Presidente in his hand, while his Size 13 1/2 booted feet are on the table, while he leans back on his chair, taking a swig of his beer, and looking right at the camera, so that his deep black eyes seem to bore into you through the TV.)

Shane: It's been said by plenty of people that pride comes before the fall.  Pride is the deadliest of sins because it's what drives a man to destruction in search of glory. I'm no stranger to the folly of pride. I've felt first hand the pitfalls of arrogance. But I ask.... what does a person have other than pride?

I might as well edit that saying now. Pride comes before the fall only because those who fall are so weak that they allow themselves to be pushed off the ladder to fall to their now shattered pride. The very essence of your will to live, to succeed, is based on your pride. Without the so-called sin of pride, there'd be no reason to keep going, because there'd be nothing to keep going for.

People in the federation, in the business, the world over, have called me a prideful fool for actually consenting to take a triple-booking this Sunday at Justice. They tell me that doing this booking willingly is considered career suicide. I don't see it that way, though. I see it as more of a challenge. An opportunity to prove myself and test my mettle as well as my three opponents'.

Randy Collins. An impressive blue-chipper, no doubt. Probably the best rookie we've produced here in quite some time. I can see how you've managed to win your Hardcore title as soon as you did. The thing is, though, you've never exactly been tested as a competitor around here. Other than a fluke win against Murphy, in which you forced him to start wearing that ridiculous mask of his, and a feud with a jobber like JFR, you've yet to showcase your full capabilities. This Sunday at Justice, it's time you step up to the big leagues, because impressive as you seem to be, I've faced, and for the most part, beaten people in this company who can run twisters around you. I'd wish you luck, but since I hapen to be your opponent, that wouldn't make much sense.

Moving on to... the Firestarter. Former World Champion, the Pure Style Champion (for now), and a bona fide legend in this business... and yet you act like some kind of poser, hanging out with pimps and constantly bragging about how you're apparently on speaking terms with the Aces of Japan. But I can forget all of that, because I'm just excited about the opportunity to make an ASWF legend tap out.

(Shane guzzles more of his beer, and addresses his last opponent.)

Shane: Don't think I forgot about you... Derek Silver. You think I'm not taking you seriously? You're pretty much the only person in this equation that's liable to actually beat me. Don't worry about me doing this little marathon of mine. Worry about what happens when we meet in the ring. Because prideful git though I may be, how're you gonna swallow the possible outcome of this prideful git defeating you after beating two other men?

(Shane finishes the beer, and throws it against the wall, shattering it in the process and causing the cameraman to flinch slightly.)

Shane: Prepare yourself, boys. Justice is gonna be a bumpy f*ckin' ride. Why? Because I am Shane F*cking Adames, and I lay down for absolutely.... NOBODY.

(The camera fades to black as Shane smiles his sly, dark smile.)

FS: *Turns on speaker phone* He tore up main man bad. I don't know how smart it is annoying 2 other people.

KENTA: Not very smart unless he secretly has the Namekian Dragon Ball$.

FS: GTFO lol...he better because that's the only way he survives the ppv.

Fire: Heihachi?  KENTA?  Really?

Shane: Good work, bro.  Expect one last thing before this match from me, then we need to start working on the match.

James: Brief, but good.  Have you been looking in my playbook?

Duo: Not a bad promo, but you could use a bit of formatting refinement, to make it easier to read.

I'mma be honest that Heihachi sh** was done on the bs. Because I had a completely different idea that had to be scratched because CR posted something a couple minutes before I was going into writing mode. That forced me to go in a different route. As for KENTA I've been using him for awhile because he's the same age, likes hip hop, sci-fi & is grimy so its a natural blend on that front and just like I said in the office thread this ish ain't real & I like breaking the 4th wall. As long as I'm not throwing projectiles & doing hurricane kicks I should be fine. That is all good day sir!
